In the bustling kitchen of “Natalia’s World,” a delightful montage of cookie-making unfolds. Ingredients are mixed, dough is shaped, and the excitement of baking fills the air. Yet, amidst the joy, a pivotal lesson emerges as the children’s adventure sparks a fire safety revelation.
As the kids learn the importance of kitchen vigilance, they’re swept into a televised fire safety announcement led by Mayor Wu and Fire Commissioner Burke. The video transitions from a fun-filled scenario to a crucial real-life message.
Gratitude and Acknowledgments
Indresano Studios extends its heartfelt gratitude to Mayor Michelle Wu and Fire Commissioner Paul Burke for their invaluable contributions. Their support in this endeavor strengthens the impact of the video, offering a bridge between fantasy and real-world safety education.
The collaborative “Natalia’s World” video by Indresano Studios, Mayor Wu, and Fire Commissioner Burke offers an engaging classroom tool. Its captivating visuals simplify fire safety concepts, while its storytelling aids retention.
Parents, guardians, and teachers – if you’re seeking an innovative and engaging way to impart crucial life lessons to children, look no further than “Natalia’s World.” Together, you can spark meaningful discussions and empower children with life-saving skills in a format that’s sure to captivate their imaginations.
Our team at Indresano Studios continues to push the boundaries of our CGI/3D skills. We were thrilled to make this CGI shoe video for the Adidas Yeezy 350 v2.
CGI can be an incredible marketing tool for businesses to use for advertising. CGI animation can take a static object and move it around in a 3D environment in order to tell your product or service’s story. It offers more flexibility and creative control for more complex projects. With CGI, you have unlimited possibilities in bringing your ideas to life, and you can use this to leave a lasting impression on your audience.
We wanted to highlight the most important aspects of the Adidas Yeezy 350 v2. It is a widely used, comfortable, and resistant urban product. One of our goals was to create a video with a cheerful and young tone to reflect the target demographic. This was achieved partially due to the use of modern, upbeat music that sets the rhythm of the animation.
For the overall lighting, we used spotlights on the sneakers to increase the shading in the knitting and in the shape. This highlights the impressive texture of the shoe build. We used a dark background and added green and yellow light points, as well as increased the presence of volumetric light. The detailed lighting and movement were carefully chosen to showcase the unique qualities and features and to boost the video’s appeal.

The Importance of Non-Profit Videos
Raising awareness and getting donors is one of the challenges that non-profits often face. Something that helps are videos that show exactly what your organization is all about.
Videos are a great marketing tool to have under a non-profit’s belt! Not only can they be used as the main attraction at an event, but they can be posted on your website, sent in email campaigns, and published across social media. It is an effective method of getting your organization’s name out there and raising awareness, which goes hand in hand with getting more donors.
This blog is the 3rd and final part in our series here we highlight our studios collaborations with non-profits across the New England area. Check out part 1 and part 2 of our series to see what we’ve covered so far! Let’s recap more of the non-profit videos we have made for South Boston Community Health Center (SBCHC) and South Boston Catholic Academy (SBCA), as well as a video we made of Boston’s empty streets at the beginning of the pandemic.

Empty Streets – Boston Strong Video
Our team at Indresano Studios looks at every situation through a creative lens, including the COVID-19 pandemic. Our dedicated team of shooters spent multiple days in masks and personal protective equipment shooting the empty streets of Boston. We always do whatever it takes to get the shot and this video project is no exception.
We set out to document life in the city during the pandemic, which you can see in the above footage. As a Boston based production studio, our love for this city is unparalleled. We made this video to honor all those affected by the virus and everyone doing their part to save lives. We are all in this together. We are Boston Strong!
Indresano Studios has won several awards for videos made for Boston non-profits. We are incredibly grateful to be given the chance to highlight the exceptional work that these organizations do. Videos are great tools to show people the difference your non-profit makes in the community.
We are a full service video production studio that handles all aspects of a shoot. Everything from vision & conceptualization to editing & color grading is done in-house at Indresano Studios. This includes story boarding, casting, production, filming, editing, color grading to final deliverables – you name it, we do it.
Indresano Studios loves to show the work that non-profits do through a creative lens by providing high-quality videos that highlight their outstanding employees, as well as people who’s lives they change for the better.
The Importance of Non-Profit Videos
Non-profits often struggle with fundraising – that’s where we come in. Videos are so versatile and can have a long shelf-life, even after being launched at an event. They can be front and center on your website’s about page, or spliced up into clips that can be used in email blasts or throughout social media!
Creating a video is a huge step in showing people exactly what a difference their donations make to your cause. It’s not often a donor is able to get an insider look into everything your organization offers. Showing your organization’s work in a creative manner is a great way to gain familiarity.
We have a new section of our website to highlight some work we have done with non-profits based in Boston. This blog is a part 2 – check out part 1 here. Now, let’s recap some of the non-profit videos we have made for SPOKE!
About SPOKE
SPOKE (formerly Medicine Wheel Productions) is a non-profit organization founded by Michael Dowling. Their mission is to transform Greater Boston communities from the inside out by inviting all members to participate in the healing and transcendent power of public art.
They are forging a Common Path—one of inclusion and civic engagement—using art as a threshold to help individuals gain awareness of self, community, and the human condition. These next five videos show how they achieve this.
SPOKE At The Threshold Video
This video tells a story at the intersection of art, human interconnectivity, and emotional healing. The goal of the video was to showcase the transformation happening within our client’s organization and to also serve as a tribute piece of the owner’s lifelong work.
SPOKE – Hand-in-Hand Program
Hand-in-Hand, a program created by SPOKE, is an opportunity for at-risk youth and Boston Police officers to meet, bond, and develop a sense of compassion and understanding by spending a day working on art projects together. Hand-in-Hand gives them a space to see one another as human beings and peers, rather than as adversaries on the streets.

Hand-in-Hand Videos
We had the pleasure of hosting the 2019 series of Hand-in-Hand events here at Indresano Studios. In addition to hosting the event, we also produced a promotional video to help SPOKE spread their message of inclusion. Former Boston Police Commissioner William B. Evans made a special appearance in this short documentary video addressing the need to raise our own awareness and take an active role in making a difference.
No Man’s Land Video
This video is one we will forever hold dear to our hearts. Thank you to Michael Dowling of SPOKE for inspiring us to create this magnificent video.
We at Indresano Studios have a vast amount of experience in working with non-profits in the Boston area. A video is an amazing way to show people what a difference your non-profit makes in the community.

Here at Indresano Studios, our team is passionate about creating videos that highlight the importance of non-profits, the employees who dedicate their lives to helping the community, as well as those who benefit from the work they do. That is why we work with non-profits in the Boston area.
The Importance of Non-Profit Videos
Fundraising is hard for any non-profit. Creating a video that shows the viewer exactly what their money goes towards, why it’s important to donate, and what a difference they can make in peoples’ lives, is a crucial step.
A video is something that can be played at any event, used on the website, sent in email campaigns, or published across social media. It is an easy way in this day and age to get recognition and familiarity.
We have created a new section of our website to showcase the work we have done with non-profits based in Boston. Let’s recap some of the non-profit videos we have made with Pine Street Inn!
About Pine Street Inn
Pine Street Inn is a non-profit organization vital to our community – it is one of Boston’s largest providers of shelter and support for the homeless. We at Indresano Studios eagerly offered to help show the world what that entails. Below are three of the impactful videos we have produced for them over the years.
50th Anniversary of Pine Street Inn Videos
These two videos were shown at the Pine Street Inn 50th Anniversary celebration where it was met with enthusiasm by many of Boston’s top corporate contributors to Pine Street Inn, as well as by the Mayor at the time, Marty Walsh, who is featured in the video. We were truly humbled by this project, and by the men and women of Pine Street who work 24/7 to eradicate homelessness in Boston.
Indresano Studios returned to Pine Street Inn to bring the plight of an often overlooked and at-risk group, Boston’s homeless women, to the attention of the public, and show how Pine Street is responding valiantly to their needs. Pine Street has shelter and housing designated specifically for women, and the video is an intimate snapshot of the lives of some of these guests and what they’ve endured. Pine Street has provided them with basic essentials like food and shelter while also offering them hope and a fresh start through various programs designed to help them become self-sufficient.
Transform a Life Video
This project for Pine Street Inn was one of the most rewarding projects we have done. It shows how important it is to donate to their cause and how much it can change someone’s life.
We have won several awards for videos we have made for non-profits in the Boston area. It is incredibly rewarding to help them spread awareness and increase donations. A video is a great way to showcase everything you have to offer and what your non-profit does for the community.
